They still have the front window molding available and reasonably priced. They do not have the rear molding available anymore and no Buick dealership in the US has one in stock. If you have an extra, I would love to take it off your hands.

If the glass does not need to be removed, I will keep it in. I will need to remove all the trim pieces and it's a little comforting knowing they still have clips.

How did you get the weatherstrip from the C Pillar to the trunk out?

Quote :
Most of the trim clips are still available from the dealer, rocker molding, the rubber along the edge of the hood, and I got assorted others also.

Do you have pn for these items as well?

There is a bolt that sticks out under the trunk lid under the plastic piece, it just pulls off of that bolt and is glued into the grove between the sail panel and the quarter panel. I can try and get some pics this weekend.

It would be easier to just photoshop the rims on your car.

Have a good pic you can post?

It was the weight. The rims I have now are a little lighter. If I wasn't into modifying mine so much, I would have stayed with the first set. They drove excellent and they looked great on the car. I had several dissapointed family and friends when I went with my current rims.

Servimg.com is not letting me upload pictures, when I figure that out I'll post pics and part numbers under the "Write-Up: PAINT JOB" topic with part numbers and instructions for removal. thumbsup

Rims could be considered a performance part as long as they are not too heavy....with 245 or even 255 tires handling is greatly improved over stock....the risk you run, as in any mod, is over doing it before other mods are added to reduce the stress of the original mod.....
